OK, we'll see. The orinoco driver was written in the assumption that the three kinds of firmware (and hardware) it supports are very similar. Once we are trying to do the advanced stuff like WPA, the differences are everywhere. There are actually few similarities.

It's actually good news for me that others are getting it with the unmodified driver! -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
